The college man is delivered back to his hall brothers. He returned with a love seat. How he could fit any more into that little room is indeed a wonder. The trunk that went to college with me about 20 yrs. back also went off to college with my son today. I think (have to check,) this was also my dad's trunk from his military days and so probably traveled another 20+ yrs before, with him. I think it started out olive/khaki green, then it was the ugly gold color of our refrigerator. I'm sure it was lovely back then, the envy of the neighborhood, today's stainless. I think the fridge got a touch-up and so the paint was on hand when I was off to college. It became a game trunk/coffee table, painted dark navy in our first home. Where it will travel next, who knows. It will probably outlast all of us and maybe travel on to dorm rooms of the future grand kids.
Though the trunk may endure beyond us, there is only one who will truly endure and He is the one I am learning to place my trust in day by day. My hope, security, safety, strength, peace, love come from one source... I am learning not to trust others or myself to provide for me, my dependence is on God. That's the legacy that endures beyond the trunk. G'night

Proverbs 3
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
